    8mm Nambu

    Is there a mold out there anywhere? Been doing some searching but can't find anything current.

    Not sure about feeding with the flat nose, RCBS discontinued their mold.

    Hmmm... 133gr might be a tad big but there's probably room enough in the case. I have multiple 8mm sizing dies so I'm sure I can get to my desired width.
    Curious if anyone has experience cycling this bullet. Grafs has an abundance of 83gr J-words so I'll have to ponder on it.

    Try Accurate bullet molds 32-096S, a .323 diameter RF 96 grain bullet that more closely approximates the 102 grain originals.

    There you go! I should have figured Tom would have one in the catalog,,,,and I’ll bet that would make a great plinker in any 8mm rifle too.

    Try LBT, Years ago Vernal made me a great 4 cavity mold for my Nambu that shoots far better than the RCBS mold(dumped it) even better when they are spray gun powder coated, accurate, smooth as glass, pretty to look at, and clean up is a breeze as, no leading!

    Sorry, just found out from another post that his factory burned down.

    I wish you hadn't shown me this site. There are some nice specialty calibers there.

    If you can locate one, Lyman made a 32359 I think it was. Had one at one time. Someone on the site here traded it from me.
    Federal at one time made arun of 8mm Nambu ammunition/cases. Headstamped FC 8mm Nambu. Had a couple but haven't seen any in years./beagle

    Buffalo Arms carries cast bullets for the Nambu.
